Christmas in Paris

Christmas in Paris

Only three months after I moved to France, I was home-bound to spend the holidays with my family in Atlanta, Georgia. I left France with mixed emotions since I hated to leave my new apartment and friends in Uzes. So the stopover in Paris for a few days was a perfect way to get into the holiday mood.

Now that I look back, these photos bring back memories of how much I love Paris — especially at this magical time of year.
